From reading around It seems different people all have different views.

The plant seems very healthy and I've been able to keep alot of the roots, with some new ones growing, and it has a semi mature growth which will hopefull root soonish.

I spent over an hour with a washing up bowl of tepid water and a waste bucket carefully removing as much of the old bark as possible, and its now in a bigger pot with a bottom of polystrene and the rest is medium bark so it should be good for a year or two.

Is there anyway to control the growths? I see some catts growing in straight lines, while others will grow in all directions. Would be better if Catts would fill the pot in all directions, otherwise in 2 years I'll be using a windowsill planter!

Thanks for all the help guys, you make orchid books look like just a pretty front cover
